– November 14, 2014 – Chaotic Labz, Atkins, Arkansas, is voluntarily
conducting a nationwide recall of Mayhem dietary supplement capsules,
Lot #CLM061114 with an expiration date of 06/2016, to the user/consumer
level. Mayhem’s intended use is as a bodybuilding supplement. FDA
laboratory analysis found that Mayhem Dietary Supplement contains
undeclared dexamethasone, a prescription corticosteroid commonly used to
treat inflammatory conditions, and cyproheptadine, a prescription
antihistamine used for seasonal allergy treatment, making this an
unapproved drug.
Consumers are advised that corticosteroid use
can impair a person’s ability to fight infections, cause high blood
sugar levels, muscle injuries and psychiatric problems. When
corticosteroids are taken for a prolonged period, or at high doses, they
can suppress the adrenal gland and cause withdrawal symptoms with
abrupt discontinuation. Antihistamines may cause drowsiness and affect
mental alertness. In addition, these undeclared drug ingredients in
Mayhem may cause serious side effects when combined with other
medications. To date, Chaotic Labz has not received reports of these
adverse effects related to this recall.
